I seriously doubt the IETF cares the slightest bit that you (or anyone for that matter) puts their private home network behind a NAT. The "real world" issue is when NAT occurs at the ISP, as is becoming increasingly more common.
You have control over your NAT, and can set up kludge workarounds (such as port forwarding) when and if you need to. However, if you are behind an ISPs NAT, you no longer have the option to work around it directly.
